Apart from standard time and 24:00 hour time that you point out there are also different timezones in Australia. Maybe they live in Perth which would make it 3:01 or 15:01#
Looks like we are in

1000 cables,

150 macs

And 1 watch
*sigh*
Yep. Probably! Haha. Guess just waiting for the day we see 3000+ parcels or something...
Someone explain this to me:
Apple says deliveries for the same SKU go out in the order they are ordered.
Makes sense.
What doesn't:
I ordered on the 11th and got a revised delivery ETA of 27/05
A colleague of mine I just spoke with ordered same SKU on the 22nd and got an ETA of 25/05
The difference is I am in Syd and he is in Melb
Unless the geographical delivery address plays a role in this it's not really first come first serve, is it?
Disclaimer: I understand that the delivery ETAs might be fluid but certainly doesn't give the impression of what Apple is trying to convince us.

That's why I am dreaming of a miracle for very early delivery every day.
Neither of us got the EOD for this watch.
I didn't get an EOD
Fingers crossed for something tomorrow.

42mm SS - WSB
Guys I saw somebody post here a few days ago about ordering a SS WSB and getting it delivered pretty much right away, so I decided to give it a go, since I'm waiting for a June delivery for my Space Black..
and it is TRUE!
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with White Sport Band
I ordered that on the 27th at around 6pm, and today the 30th, just around 6:30pm I was charged for it, and it changed to Preparing For Shipment, despite the fact it still says June for shipment.
So I guess they had extra stock of that model here in Aussie Lands.. I'm really glad I did that, so now the wife can use her 38mm that I've been using since the 24th hahahahahah.
It'd be so sweet to have it delivered this week (tomorrow or saturday) but I have a feeling it'll be on monday.

I think everyone has just resigned to the fact that nothing is going to happen until next week as we approach the early part of the ETA windows.
No doubt you will get a prep to ship for your 38 SS WSB first. I call Tuesday. Happy Friday
Just checked the Apple store - when ordering now:
38 SS BSB and WSB delivery estimates are now 2-3 weeks instead of 4-6 weeks/June
38 SS Milanese delivery estimates are now 2-3 weeks instead of 4-6 weeks/June
38 SS Modern Buckle all sizes is now 4-6 weeks instead of June
38 Sport WSB, 42 Sport WSB, 38 Sport Blue, 38 Sport Green are also showing 2-3 weeks now.
My delivery dates on the already ordered ones have not moved although they would be later than the ones quoted now when ordering. So let's hope it's a good indication that everything will arrive earlier at least for those models.
